GANA (2017)
The band's debut album and the first entry in the trilogy, GANA deals with Oxygen, the burning nest representing the chemical symbol "O". An aggressive album, the lyrical themes are flames, pollution and violence. Destruction, anger and leaving only ashes behind. Opens and closes with the sounds of fire crackling.

GRIMT (2020)
The sophomore entry, GRIMT centers around Hydrogen, the ladder representing the chemical symbol "H". An album of contrasts, the lyrical themes are water, instability, and self-reflection. The changing nature, high and low tides in humanity. Opens with the sound of a singular hydrogen atom and closes with a rushing river.
